'Canadian Idol' terror suspect in court

A man who appeared on the TV show “Canadian Idol” appeared in court today on terrorism charges.

Dr Khurram Syed Sher, 28, is charged with conspiracy to facilitate terrorist activity.

Police say they seized 50 circuit boards intended for use in remotely detonated bombs. Two other men arrested appeared in court on Thursday.

Sher appeared on the singing competition reality show in 2008 singing a comical version of Avril Lavigne’s “Complicated,” complete with dance moves that included a moonwalk.

The bearded father of three, a pathologist in Ontario, appeared nervous during his court appearance in Ottawa, where he was ordered to return on September 1 via videolink.

Police said they moved in on the Canadian men to prevent them from sending money to terror groups in Afghanistan.
